The research tools consisted of (1) a workshop on project plan, (2) an assessment on knowledge and skills practice, and (3) a satisfaction assessment. Data were collected between January 2021 – September 2022; and were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The research results showed that (1) project context or environment was at high level (Mean=3.8, SD=0.7), (2) project inputs was at high level (Mean=3.9, SD=0.6), (3) project process at medium level (Mean=3.0, SD=0.6), and (4) productivity aspect was at high level (Mean=3.6, SD=0.2). Among the participating patients, 77.5% were with urinary system illnesses and 22.5% with breast abnormalities, of whom 3.2% had breast cancer and 96.8% ad benign tumors.
